Exactly ... anyone who thinks Purolators are only rated or good for for 3K oil changes is just flat wrong and don't really understand the use statement directly from Purolator about their filters.

OEM interval recommendations are ridiculous and full of marketing. If you're using a P-Classic and you run it past 3K, you're doing it wrong. YES, a few have ripped before 3K but not many (and not the model number I use). And yes, I know some of you want to stretch your OCI to levels I think are absurd, and knock yourselves out but if you use a p-Classic for a 6000 mi OFI, you're probably doing it wrong. As Mr. Natural says, use the right tool for the job.

I'll never be sold on extended intervals, but if you're going to do it, spend the money for stuff rated for such an interval. If you use a $3 filter for a 10K interval, you're going to be very disappointed. Think about what you're doing.

LOL ... suddenly it's 1968. Purolator and other filter manufactures make their filters last at least as long as the OEM spec (they even say so - see below), which is based on the OCI specified by the car manufacturer. Newer cars are calling for 5000 ~ 7500 OCIs, and Honda and others even specify the filter to be used for 2x OCIs under non-server driving conditions, which could push the FCI out to 10K ~ 15K miles.

"Purolator PureONE oil filters should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months depending on the driving conditions - or unless otherwise specified by the vehicle's manufacturer."

The "3,000 miles or 3 months" statement is a basic CYA for guys who don't go by the vehicle manufacturer's specification, and for dudes still living in 1968, LOL.

But I will agree that I would feel "more comfortable" using an aftermarket filter that is advertised for longer OCIs. But also keep in mind that the OEM filters from the dealers are designed to match the OCI specs laid out by the manufacturer. So the OEM Honda filter better also be able to take 2x OCIs without much problem.

You're very young, aren't you?

What? The engine manufacturer is wrong, and all these modern oils haven't improved over the years. Or maybe one filter manufacturer hasn't kept up.

If you believe the manufacturers, I've got swamp land in southern Arizona for sale.

Yeah, I guess all manufactures are complete lairs about their specs and products. You do know companies can get sued these days for making false claims these days.

Not necessarily liars, but misleading and exaggerating, you bet.

... chears mateie. Have a bruszki on me. Lets see sum more cutts and postes. Someones gotta have some low milage Puralaters low laying around that they could cut open to see if they are in good shape or not.

Most people are very very gullible. They don't like to think for themselves. Why do you think there are so many posts on various and sundry fora, from BITOG to electric guitar fora, asking "What's the BEST XXXXX?"

Why are those questions asked? Because it's easier to do that than to DTOFDW and decide for themselves what will work best for them.

They, like you, flit from product to product, like the sardines in the shallows of Tortola, changing direction with each shift of the water direction. When you learn to think for yourself, you'll be a lot better off.
